Modernized Strand-Board Abodes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Carl Turner British Barn is a Perfect Combo of Country and Chic

— April 16, 2012 — World
The British Barn created by Carl Turner, located in Dwell, England is a modern barn suitable for anyone wishing to spend a pleasant weekend. With the perfect contrast of country and chic, I’d say anyone who stayed here would feel very balanced. The entire interior is done with strand board which is made from tree chippings and is extremely environmentally friendly.

Strand board is normally only found in barns and unfinished rooms so the use of it, on purpose, is quite unique and looks much better than expected. With the sleek, modern furniture and flooring, the home does not lack luxury in any way. It’s simple and ironic design is, in fact, very British. Their subtle humor is known and admired by all and it definitely makes this modern barn an ideal place for travelers and tourists alike to stay.
Trend Themes
1. Strand Board Design - Designing modern spaces with strand board, an environmentally friendly resource, creates a unique aesthetic.
2. Luxury Barn Accommodations - The combination of rustic and modern design elements in barn accommodations creates a unique and sought-after experience for travelers and tourists.
3. Sustainable Architecture - Using environmentally friendly materials in architecture, such as strand board, is becoming increasingly popular in sustainable design practices.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - Hotels and vacation rentals can incorporate strand board into their designs to create unique, luxurious and eco-conscious accommodations for their guests.
2. Construction - Strand board can be used as a sustainable alternative to traditional construction materials, and can be used in both residential and commercial applications.
3. Furniture - Strand board furniture can be created to offer a modern, minimalist aesthetic while still being environmentally conscious and affordable.
